The National Republican Congressional Committee launched an offensive over Medicare Monday, attacking five Democratic House incumbents and three congressional candidates for cutting Medicare by endorsing “Obamacare.” The attacks echo the presidential race, in which Mitt Romney is attacking President Obama for cutting $716 billion from Medicare in order to pay for the Affordable Care Act.
